“Alexandra Afryea is especially strong as Lady Macbeth and the scene in which she sleepwalks, visibly tormented by her deeds, is perhaps the most memorable of them all.”

“Lady Macbeth (Alexandra Afryea) is undoubtedly the star of the show. Impassioned and with great presence and projection I could’ve watched her for hours.
Her performance…showed a natural affinity with the Shakespearian way.”

“You have some strong players in the cast, particularly Alexandra Afryea as Lady Macbeth.
She has a touch of Grace Jones about her, with added eloquence and emotional intelligence. It is worth seeing the play just for her performance.”

“The play’s strongest performances come from Alexandra Afryea…[the] scheming, ambitious wife…Lady Macbeth – already at the brink of insanity when the play begins as a
result of both her ambition and her grief for a lost child.”

“…Black British actress Alexandra Afryea…embodies Lady Macbeth’s bereavement superbly, with presence and projection.
The iconic sleepwalking scene…explores how much her loss, as well as the murders, have taken its toll psychologically and the climax
unfolds from there.”

“Alexandra Afryea gave a stunning performance as Lady Macbeth, demonstrating a powerful vocal prowess and keenly carrying this infamously heavy character throughout, terrifying a group of children in the audience with her triumphant sleepwalking scene.”

THEATRE WORLD
“The effervescent and endearing Madame [Alexandra Afryea] was a breath of fresh air allowing a break from the dramatic carrying-ons behind her back.”
SKY ARTS
“In an intense and brooding play, [Alexandra Afryea’s] Madame provides moments of comedic relief.”
WHAT’S ON STAGE
“[Afryea]…is convincing as the girl who ‘has it all’, driving the sisters to maddening thoughts of revenge.”
GREENWICH.CO.UK
“[Alexandra Afryea’s] preposterous yet credible performance as Madame steals the show as a fantastic caricature of the rich and pointless…full marks for execution and humorous moments from a very dark script.”
AFRIDIZIAK THEATRE NEWS
The theatre is undeniably electrified by Madame’s arrival...Madame, played with an utterly captivating and magisterial dynamism by [Afryea], oozes palpable sultry sexuality."
